1. Looking back at your preliminary
task, what do you feel you have
learnt in the progression from it to
the full product?

2. Comparing my two front covers
This magazine includes minimal
amount of magazine conventions.
Doesn’t look
like a legit
magazine.
I created the front cover when I was new to
Photoshop which is clear as it doesn’t look
legit..
i.e no ISBN/date/issue
number, colour scheme isn’t
coherent
The masthead is
unproductive, as it isn’t
the first thing any
costumer would notice,
also it’s on the side, and it
should be on the top – as
it’s noticeable there.
Although it includes a
website, it is not
clear.
Colour
scheme is
coherent
(as is the
font)
After doing a lot of research of other
magazines. This was my final magazine cover...
Masthead is
bold, and
much more
noticeable,
allowing it to
be the first
thing
someone sees.
Cover lines are also clear
and not scattered all over
the page like my first one.

3. Comparing my two content pages
The colour
isn’t
consistent
– uses too
many
different
colours.
The use cartoons
makes it seem less
legit and more
unprofessional
Doesn’t include common
conventions such as the
issue number/date
I feel that this
contents page
has too many
empty/blank
spaces.
And then
there are
places
where I feel
seems
‘squashed’
and quite
forced.
It’s not
obvious
that this a
contents
page –
doesn’t
look legit.
Doesn’t include
many blank and
empty spaces
Consistent
colour
scheme –
similar to
the front
cover.
Includes the
masthead in
the contents
page –
which is a
common
convention.
I did however
include these
in my final
piece.
